Description:
This full-day hands-on course will guide participants through each step of designing and performing advanced additive direct composite restorations. We’ll begin with wax-up design and progress to creating matrices that provide precise guidance for restorations.

Each participant will complete a complex layered anterior composite restoration, with an emphasis on replicating natural tooth morphology and shade. The course will also cover advanced layering, internal characterization, and the development of surface texture and finishing on hyper-realistic models.

Learning Objectives:

• Understand the fundamentals of putty fabrication for complex anterior composite restorations
• Perform accurate shade selection
• Create wet mock-ups
• Complete fully layered anterior composite restorations
• Develop surface texture and polishing techniques
• Communicate with patients about education and case selection
• Gain hands-on experience with complex anterior cases
